I went on a bag making frenzy pre-Christmas as I didn’t have much money and wanted to give my friends personal gifts – I don’t see most of them very often as I live in a different country. Anyway, here are some of the Charlie bags I made. I made one in the pattern size and them others were variations – smaller, fatter, thinner, longer handles, shorter handles and sometimes just the size to fit the material’s pattern on. I also lined them all as I think it helps make the bag last longer.
